Today I returned from the village of Garbangha, the village where these girls are from. The urgency of this project was renewed when I met a girl my age (19) who was working in the rice fields. She taught me to cut rice with her and we stood together barefoot in a foot of mud cutting rice. I learned that she had two sons at home, one five years old, the other 3 years old, and she works in the rice fields all day, everyday. She will continue to have babies until she cannot anymore, and she will continue to work in the rice fields until her bones give out. This is the fate of all village girls.We need to stop this cycle of poverty and oppression.
